Out of compliance

Inspected Nov. 16 (In compliance on Nov. 27 re-inspection)

Kickin' Kadilaks Bar & Grill, 19 S. Front St., York Haven

Chlorine chemical sanitizer residual detected in the final sanitizer rinse cycle of the low temperature sanitizing dishwasher behind the bar is 0 ppm, and not 50-100 ppm as required. Sanitizer container found empty. Replaced by staff and unit primed, but sanitizer is still not getting to the machine.

Observed unwrapped and unprotected single-use drinking straws being used in the dining room.

Observed an accumulation of grease and static dust on galvanized steel or aluminum mesh-style exhaust hood filters on the exhaust hood above the deep fat fryers which are no longer considered cleanable or acceptable for further use. [From Nov. 27 re-inspection: Filters have been measured and replacement filters are being manufactured.]

Food facility is not using sanitizer test strips or test kit to determine appropriate sanitizer concentration on the low temperature mechanical glass washer behind the bar.

Observed wiping cloths soaking in chlorine sanitizing solution that exceeded 200 ppm (parts per million), which is considered toxic at that level. Corrected on the spot.

The person in charge failed in their duties as evidenced by this non-compliant inspection report.

Comments: All issues were corrected immediately and the restaurant is awaiting a re-inspection, owner Pamela Kadilak said.

Update: The restaurant was found to be in compliance on a follow-up inspection on Nov. 27, according to the Department of Agriculture website.
